Dating is where two people who are attracted to each other spend time together to see if they also can stand to be around each other most of the time, if this is successful they develop a relationship, although sometimes a relationship develops anyways if the people can't find anybody else to date them, or are very lonely or one person is only attracted to the other and pretends
to be in love with the second
unfortunate person who has the
misunderstanding that they have found love. This occurs quite often and eventully leads to something called cheating.
